WEST POINT, N.Y. — The approximately 300-mile journey of the Army-Navy Ball Run began on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024, in front of Quarters 100 — the residence of the U.S. Military Academy superintendent.
Eighteen members of the Army West Point Marathon Team stepped off to cheers from the West Point community and Corps of Cadets to deliver the Army-Navy gameday ball to Northwest Stadium, home of the NFL’s Washington Commanders, in Landover, Maryland, on Saturday, Dec. 14, for the 125th iteration of the Army-Navy Game.
Each member of the squad will run just short of 20 miles with the ball, a plan and execution provided by Ball Run Cadet-in-Charge Aubrey Boatwright.
Boatwright was tasked to coordinate the logistics of the route to Washington, D.C. and collaborate with multiple organizations to guarantee the mission’s success.
